Officers responded to the victim’s vehicle on fire Wednesday near Vaughan, West Hants.
Police searched the woods on Hwy. 14 for Kehoe. RCMP Air Services, RCMP Police Dog Services, and All Terrain Vehicles were called to assist, but they were unable to find him.
Kehoe is charged with arson and two counts of uttering threats.
Officers took Kehoe into custody Friday.
